The National Monuments Service's description
Some 30m N of a small, NW-flowing stream in well-drained, level pasture. Described in 1985 as horseshoe-shaped mound (diam. c. 6m N-S; H. 1m) open towards the S (SMR file). No obvious surface trace survived in 2000, but the area, although recently drained with a plastic field-pipe (Wth 0.5m; D 0.3m) just N of the site was still wet and rushy to the SE of the site. Sub-surface features may survive intact.
